When I was a baby, you were a giant
When I was a child, you were just tall
Turned to a teen, and we were the same size
Became a grownup, and you seemed so small
Now I am old and you are immortal
Outside the lines I’ve cut with my knife
Now I am old and know not to measure
All of the people I know in my life

Relations
In the tapestry of time’s embrace,
I journeyed from infant’s gaze,
Where you stood as giants tall,
A world of wonder, vast and amazed.
Childhood’s stride brought understanding,
Your stature, once grand, now a measure fair,
Teenage years, a bond so near,
In the mirror of growth, a shared reflection there.
Grown into the mold of maturity,
Lines between us began to blur,
An equilibrium reached, souls aligned,
The boundaries dissolved, an unspoken concur.
As years carved paths through life’s expanse,
I find myself at the twilight’s edge,
You, once towering, now immortal,
Bound to eternity, transcending life’s pledge.
The tapestry we weave, intricate and bold,
Beyond time’s grasp, our essence twines,
No longer defined by mere measurements,
For in love’s embrace, the infinite shines.
In the dance of moments and memories,
We forsake the ruler, abandon the knife,
For age unveils the truth that binds us—
In the grand mosaic, we are all life
